Every family in the United States needs a CHERP®.

Make sure your children are not taken into protective custody
or foster care in an emergency by the Child Protective Services (CPS) agency in your area.

Emergency situations are already stressful enough without your child needing to wait for assistance at the police station or hospital, not knowing who will be the person to help. Your child can be guided through a stressful emergency situation best by a person who they know, trust and love.We hope you never deploy your CHERP®! But if it must be deployed, it’s the single best way to help make sure your kids are cared for the way you want, rather than by strangers, caseworkers, foster homes, and judges.

What exactly is Parens Patriae?

“Parent of the Nation”

This is the power under which the state will take custody of our children, and ensure that they are protected and cared for
if we, as parents, are unable to do so. This means that immediately following you, “The State” has authority over your kids…
not your children’s grandparents, aunts and uncles, godparents, babysitters, or neighbors.
